Currently starring in 'Ring Ring' (https://tinyurl.com/yra4kxzb), a 1960s-set horror, now touring the festival circuit. Erwin is a versatile bilingual actor (German and English) with credits across short films, commercials, and acclaimed TV dramas, including Germany’s 'Tatort'. He won Best Actor for 'Marvin the Vampire' in the USA. Erwin brings emotional depth, sharp improvisation skills, and a grounded physicality shaped by his military background. With a love for jazz singing and a growing interest in writing, he's drawn to character-driven, action-filled stories with real emotional depth.
